May 2021 – Selected haiku

31 May 2021 – II

did I ask my dad

to photograph me in tree

pose on a log? yes.

neighbor let us take

log pieces, gift from them and

storm that knock’d down tree

seen in twenty eight-
-teen: a rather large mushroom.
I did not eat it.

behold the bluewings,

impatiens, begonias

on our balcony

young goose family
surveys artificial
lake that they call home

inhaled all the grass

pollen while identify-

-ing. I’m allergic.

Kyp wanted to know
if I had pet other cats
on my walk. I had.

squirrel asking all
other sciuridae in
the cluster: “you up?”

mating call

cute cats, queued for their
supper, queried my photo-
-graph’s composition

anonymous cat
pauses evening stroll to give
leisurely greeting
